Before you hire
- Always interview by video. Meet face-to-face before any in-person meeting.
- Check references. Ask for and contact at least two past families directly.
- Verify documents. Confirm ID, certifications, and work eligibility in person.
- Start with a trial. A short paid trial day reveals fit faster than any interview.
- Use a written agreement. Hours, pay, duties, and notice period in writing.
- Pay through traceable methods. Bank transfer or a payroll service — never untraceable cash for ongoing work.
Red flags
- Asks to move the conversation off-platform immediately.
- Requests payment, a deposit, or "fees" before any work is done.
- Refuses a video interview or in-person trial.
- Story changes between messages, or won't share verifiable references.
- Pressure to skip background checks or "trust them."
